5th Grade Unit 8 – Data

Content Focus –

Students work with tables and graphs, and build knowledge of functions and conventions that will support their later work with algebra.

Looking Back…

In 4th grade, students worked with tables and sets of data.  They looked at change over time, and observed if they saw patterns.  they have had experience reading and recording data sets on tables and bar graphs.

Looking Forward…

In later grades, students will work with linear and non-linear relationships.  This work lays the foundation for important work students will do in algebra and beyond.
